How Much PROTEIN Do We Really Need?

How Much PROTEIN Do We Really Need?

how much protein we really need
some doctors will say that you need point eight grams of protein times your body weight per day
honestly I think that’s way way too much now even say if you’re an athlete you would need one or one and a half times your body weight in the amount of protein that can go with
like 300 grams of protein per day so here’s the problem
people are doing way too much protein they don’t need as much as they think, you would need half of the requirements
so if you weigh about 193 ,you should have about 0.4 times my body weight so you need about 78 grams of protein per day
now what does that mean 78 grams it’s about 26 grams per meal all right and the average person needs between like 25 and 35 grams of protein
because anything more than that tends to turn into sugar now that’s a generality but it tends to be true
so when it turns into sugar it spikes insulin ,26 grams per meal which would be about like 5 ounces
if you are having a piece of a burger patty it’d be like a deck of a car cards or like it’d be 4 eggs
or not quite a full chicken breast but maybe 3/4 cup of a chicken breast so it’s not that much protein

when you consume too much protein you find sleeping isn’t quite right protein has a lot of phosphorus.
phosphorus is a stimulant if you’re doing all this protein protein snacks all day you’re not going to sleep that well
you need lot more vegetables to wine you down with all the the minerals that calm your body so phosphorus is like an accelerator other minerals like calcium magnesium from the vegetables tend to calm you down

and just a little bit of protein seems to work really good but you don’t need as much protein as you think
there are variables so there’s exceptions to the rule here’s the variables everyone if you’re younger you can tolerate more protein
if you’re older you can’t ,the liver actually is the organ that helps break down protein
if you have a bad liver a fatty liver you’re not going to digest a lot of protein just a little bit also the strength of your digestive acids
most people have low acids in their stomach and then they have heartburn so if they would have apple cider vinegar they could start to increase the acid and digest
more protein ,people that get gas especially on the protein what that means is they don’t have enough stomach acids so the lower the acid the less you can digest protein
if you’re exercising and you’re breaking down proteins muscle you’re going to need a little more protein that’s just the fact
so if you’re sedentary you’re not going to eat as much protein it’s very very simple the more stressed you are the more protein you will need
but typically the average person even if they work out they don’t need a lot of protein but some of you have to test out with your body and play around with the numbers to get your exact amount
you might want to start with 0.4 grams times your body weight and then play around and see how you feel okay see if you recover see if you feel good see if you sleep see if you’re not bloated
after you eat and then maybe you increase it you know because some people need a little bit more some people need a little less
now the other thing is that too much protein raises a hormone called insulin and that keeps you fat
so you can actually get fat by too much protein especially if it’s lean protein like whey protein,
because it’s really lean low-fat or other types of lean protein spike insulin more than fatty protein things like bacon or sausage that has a neutral effect on insulin
when you consume protein don’t try to go for the lean, get the full fat in there as well so when you eat chicken you have the skin on it, when you have beef you have all the fat
don’t get it lean because it’s going to spike insulin a little bit more than you would think
then also if you add sugar to the protein you’re spiking insulin when you add sugar to protein you greatly aggravate and exaggerate the insulin spike
that’s like a deadly combination you don’t want to add the bun to the meat or the ketchup or the sugar to meat especially even the barbecued ribs
there’s ways you can make it without sugar but those are just some interesting points about protein in how that will mess up your your weight
